power_supply: sysfs: Bring back write to writeable properties
The fix for NULL pointer exception related to calling uevent for not
finished probe caused to set all writeable properties as non-writeable.
This was caused by checking if property is writeable before the initial
increase of power supply usage counter and in the same time using
wrapper over property_is_writeable(). The wrapper returns ENODEV if the
usage counter is still 0.
The call trace looked like:
device probe:
power_supply_register()
use_cnt = 0;
device_add()
create sysfs entries
power_supply_attr_is_visible()
power_supply_property_is_writeable()
if (use_cnt == 0) return -ENODEV;
use_cnt++;
Replace the usage of wrapper with direct call to property_is_writeable()
from driver. This should be safe call during device probe because
implementations of this callback just return 0/1 for different
properties and they do not access any of the driver's internal data.
